What is cenAlarmDescription?
This carries a free-text, detailed description of the specific alarm condition, generated by whatever upstream management application is issuing the EPM notification. Because its content is entirely application-defined rather than standardized, this is the field admins actually read to understand what happened, while the numeric status, category, and severity codes are what automated systems key off of. This field might read something like 'Interface GigabitEthernet0/1 on access-switch-14 has exceeded 90 percent utilization for 15 consecutive minutes', giving a human-readable summary the numeric codes alone would not convey.
